Hi, i have a simple fail-over heartbeat/drbd cluster set up. In each server there are two network cards. One for internet access (WAN) and one for internal communication and synchronization (LAN). If one node looses internet connection (WAN) the other takes over all resources as expected, but this does no thappen with local connection (LAN) which is just crossover UTP cable. In case if local connection (LAN) fails, cluster does not migrate all resources to one of the nodes and just continues to work without synchronized drbd resources (amongst other things). My question is this: How can i make one node take over all resources if local crossover connection fails? I wanted to keep this short, but if you wish I can provide all other details about this install. Here are possible solutions i fought about to get you started. 1. Add another network device to local network (LAN), and use ipfail/ heartbeat to monitor it's response. If it dies on one, do failover. But if the switch dies i have the same problem again. 2... Thanks, Martin P.S. Sorry if i sent this twice. I promise i won't do it again. :-)
